    Audi S2 Avant *Stunning Emerald + Huge spec*

    Audi S2 Avant *Stunning Emerald + Huge spec*

    I bought this Avant as a very tidy stock example in 2006 with 126,000 miles on the clock. Since I took ownership I have meticulously maintained, serviced and cherished this beast.

    Emerald Pearl (LZ6U)
    First registered 30.11.94 (M reg)
    162,800 miles
    6 former keepers

    In January this year I had the following brand new parts fitted by Mark Hardy, owner of ‘Automark’ in Stokesley, North Yorkshire. They have vast knowledge of 20 valves and will be happy to verify the work and vouch for the condition of the car.

    Brand new parts fitted were:

    • Garrett 3071r
    • Wagner RS2 Evo intercooler
    • Wagner EM with genuine Audi gasket and studs
    • Bosch 440cc injectors (968s)
    • Roose boost hoses ad clamps
    • K&N cone filter
    • 5 x genuine Audi ignition coils
    • Cambelt, tensioner and water pump (genuine Audi)
    • Cam box gasket and new cam chain (genuine Audi)
    • NGK iridium spark plugs
    • Oxygen sensor
    • RS 10/60 oil and filter
    • Fuel filter
    • Brake fluid changed
    • Dump valve
    • Had the cam cover, coil cover + IM painted OE colour

    Live mapped and software developed by Automark

    In the interest if drivability and stock internals, Mark advised that we be relatively conservative with the boost at this stage, saying that, running approx 350 it’s bloomin quick. Go inside, do the rods, clutch etc and this set up is good for 450! If you think you need it!

    Ok spec is as follows:

    • Black leather with mk3/VR6 Recaro’s all in excellent condition
    • Carbon inlays
    • Tilt side sunroof
    • Alcantara trimmed airbag steering wheel
    • Boost gauge
    • Toad cat 1/ alarm/ immobiliser with remote locking
    • RS2 replica front bumper (Reiger) fitted Oct 10
    • Genuine RS2 fogs – fitted Oct 10 (brand new)
    • LCR front splitter
    • Genuine RS2 front grill – Sept 11 (brand new)
    • Brand new, genuine S2 front and rear badges
    • H&R springs (30mm drop), fitted 07
    • RS2 dampers (boge), fitted 07
    • 996/Boxster S monoblocks + A8 323 mm discs
    • Goodridge braided lines
    • New standard rear discs + pads May 12
    • Whiteline RARB
    • HiD kit – brand new Feb 13
    • Laminex smoked lense protection – does not effect light efficiency and can easily be removed
    • Smoked side repeaters
    • MK1 S8s recently painted by myself in Porsche ‘Platinum Silber’
    • Nearly new Federal 595rsr, 245/35/18 rubber all round
    • 10mm rear, 15mm front H&R Hubcentric spacers
    • Front arches slightly modified to take wider rubber – looks aggressive!
    • 80 Avant roof spoiler
    • Carbon B + C + cambelt covers (aronmatic)
    • Milltek turbo back system inc large bore down pipe + race cat – fitted Oct 07 (£1,300)

    Other relatively recent work done:

    • Head gasket, skim, valve stem oil seals – May 09
    • OE clutch – Dec 08
    • OE upper + lower rear wishbone bushes – May 11
    • New rubber lower door trims – May 11
    • New oil cooler

    The list goes on, and on , and on, but I feel I’ve got the important and most interesting things listed.

    Car is registered as ‘Cat C’ (damaged but repairable) unfortunately after some wench smashed into me while I was stationary at a junction. Deemed uneconomical to repair by the insurer’s, what a surprise!!! I bought the car back and set about repairing it. Please don’t let this put you off, further details of this can be discussed with any genuinely interested party. I have never had a problem insuring the car, I have a complete engineers report from H.Rook (Hull) for completion of repair work. Also have the full geometry/4 wheel alignment report.

    I consider my S2 to be ‘a good one’

    I will not break her......ever, so don’t ask for dibs on bots fellas!!
    I will not be returning the car to standard
    Never tracked
    Hasn’t seen winter/salt or snow for last 5 years
    Forum members that know the car and have driven it will vouch for its condition and performance....I hope
    Power delivery is very smooth and strong, taking off like a scalded cat at 4,000 revs, a real testament to how well the car has been mapped.

    Anyone that’s genuinely interested will already understand and appreciate the time and expense that has gone into making this S2 the car it is today, so will therefore not be wasting mine or their own time making silly bids to no avail. Yes, there will be some good stock examples available for 3 – 4 K, that’s if you can find one, but think what you’ll need to throw at it to get it to get it to the above spec and condition??
    Stacks of receipts and history.
    Never tracked.

    A highly unexpected offer of sale, simply down to the treadmill of life I’m afraid. Expanding family, houses, kitchens etc.

    Reading this you may think I am mad to sell after I have just done all of this work!!
    Modifying my S2, power wise, is an itch I’ve always needed to scratch. Well now I’ve ticked that box and my circumstances are such that it now hopefully needs to go to someone who will love it as much as me.

    I can assist overseas buyers with pick up from Leeds/Bradford International Airport.

    Test drives only with proof of valid insurance and when I’m holding a large brown envelope of your sterling.

    No P/X thanks

    Located Nr Leeds, West Yorkshire, England

    Car will come with fresh 12 months MOT

    Looking for £6,800 ono.

    I am a realist, this car is for sale I am not just testing the water, so will seriously consider what I view as any reasonable offer.

    Enquires by PM please, serious and genuine ones that is. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Once again, please do not ask me for any parts.

    Right that’s it, I’ll let the pictures get your juices flowing.

    Thanks for reading

    Regards

    Rob

    Good luck with the sale buddy.
    Just some finishing touches to do now

          Rob.... fella.... what is happening? I cant believe this is for sale!!!!! Whats replacing it? Sad, sad day this.

          I can vouch for this car as I saw it a few years ago and it was stunning and something I wanted to make my avant like and that was before he had paint work done on it so as you can imagine it is immaculate!

              Sorry to see you're selling the Rob, its an immaculate car and stole all the attention at the show in Wigan. And having seen how well it stuck to the back of mine it sure does pull well and sounds great too.

              Good luck with the sale Rob, it will make a great buy for the next owner
